Abstract: The article presents ceramist Aaron Cole’s kiln that runs on waste vegetable oil and provides possibilities for an inexpensive firing process that is more affordable and sustainable than traditional firing methods. Topics discussed include Cole’s development of a kiln that recycles Spring Arbor University’s waste vegetable oil to use as fuel and the kiln’s capability of firing up to cone 8 with minimal sources of propane and gasoline thus offering a free alternative to more traditional fuels.
